Hmm. We've actually cleaned up most of the multiple-server-headers
mess by not shipping them in libpq-dev anymore.
Fwiw, there's working pg_reorg packages for 9.1 on 12.04 on
apt.postgresql.org, maybe these will do the job for you?
What's puzzling me now is why you can't build pg_repack for 9.1 while
it worked for me with pg_reorg on 12.04, I thought these would be
sufficiently similar. Maybe the difference includes a bugfix for this
problem as well...
